Ropes DO lose elasticity and strength with time. Some rope people tested a 20 year old rope and it didn't pass the UIAA test, though it looked brand new, never used.

Just because my penis is small doesn't mean my sexual prowness is compromised!

Yo Tricky, I nearly shat myself laughing there.

They do work, there have been some cases where people were saved by them.

Don't bash rangers! They have feelings too! At least they don't climb in big groups!!! How else should they act??? (sorry, should be in spray. feel free to delete this post.)

Allison's got her panties in a bunch again. Oops, let's rephrase that in case it offends someone. How about: Allison has been mortally offended again. It's the internet. Juvenile humor is rampant. Get over it.

It might be OK, but I wouldn't use it. Bite the bullet, get another one, it sucks not trusting a rope.

Team up with another newbie and TR stuff, then practice placing gear, then start leading, etc. You don't need a ropegun to learn.

Of course, Mountie SEF didn't need help getting off Glacier Peak.

Ursa, I think the Mounties and Mazamas suck because of their attitudes, because they tend to occupy routes for hours, and because their posturing. Plus it's fun to ridicule people for carrying 70lbs up to the Tooth. I tend to have a problem with large groups, period, it's not just the Mounties. They're just somewhat worse. Ridiculing people for roping up on a snowfield isn't just because they are mounties. I remember someone getting flamed becuase they top-roped a snowbank in the parking lot. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. But groups still suck.

Anybody here with a job they LIKE?

Isn't POF the resin that the French bastards use to glue their hands to non-existant holds? POF is AID!

Yeah!!

Hey Dwayner, where can I buy painters' pants? I figure that if you're stuck in the 70s you'll know.

This place is boring . The war in iraq arguments were fun.

You might get sewing machine ARM though!

That's why i advocate a $0.50 solution...simple bullet to the head...You can't change/curb their behavior so they shouldn't be let out.

Beck, you must call yourself stupid, as you admit that you have used small pots in the backcountry. Just let it die, man. I'd say it's stupider to argue about pot size than to cook on a 1-cup pot.

How's this? Shit, photos too big. Save it, then rotate once it's on your machine. That's one hot chick. No wonder Dwayner doesn't like sport climbing, he never get the hot sport-chicks.

Who is that?

Sorry about your foot.

No, no, no, Erik, I'm a guy. Please! (Not that I wouldn't want the chick, though...)
